GCI Perception Problem We do understand GEOSS >> GCI !!
GEOSS Common Infrastructure GCI Role in GEOSS • GCI key components: • Component and Services Registry(CSR) • Discovery and Access Broker(DAB) • GEOSS Portal • Development/evolution continues
Rationale for Community Portal • GEOSS Portal provides common discovery and access services for all GEOSS resources • Some ability to filter to users’ interests • Can satisfy many GEOSS users • GEO communities may wish to build there own portal that directly accesses GCI services • Focus on resources of interest to their community • Allows them to integrate GEOSS/GCI services into their own systems • GCI as an enabling infrastructure • Always envisioned in the GEOSS architecture • Team formed to explore community portal development

Community Portal Paper Activity • Initiated as GCI became operational • Purpose – provide guidance to developers of community portals and other components • Work with communities to identify and characterize functions and use cases • Demonstrate benefits of utilizing GCI • Instruct on its use • Share experience of previous efforts (e.g. AIPs) • Team – voluntary representatives from GCI component developers and interested communities • Good representation from AIP participants • Open invitation to new participants • Goal – maximize benefits of GCI and promote community contributions to system of systems
Community Portal Paper • Structured around GEOSS diagram • General description of GCI – Community Infrastructure architecture • Each interface demonstrates possible interactions • Interactions will vary across different communities • Two-way interfaces – enables utilization and contribution to GEOSS • Feedback mechanism - Use of GCI will identify issues that need to be addressed • Current state • Describes principles and possibilities • Contains a few examples • Lacks specific recommendations
Community PortalsNear Term Plans • Continue direct engagement with community projects • Water, energy, biodiversity observations, arctic observations, citizens observatories, UNEP • Others as identified • Collect information on all community portal initiatives • Harvest lessons from community experience • Identify problems with GCI that need to addressed • Build recommendations for future community efforts • Share feedback with GEO providers • Continue to update recommendations document • Publish journal article to broaden awareness
